i must suck at google because i tried for five minutes and can't dig up anything useful.

does anybody know the regulation on sidelights aka parking lights in nys? i wanna stick superblue led's to match the halogens in my clear corners and i wondered if the man was gonna gank me over to the side of the road and paddle my behind for being different. :eyetwitch

thanks.

yes they will....must be amber my friend or they can ticket you.....technically the corner is supposed to be amber too.....you can do it and maybe get away for a while but depending on thier mood and time of the month it makes you a target

I don't know about NY but in MD clear corners are ok as long as you have white or amber bulbs.

this is a 50 state regulation hence why they come orange on the cars

yeah right now I have blue clears and parking lights...I was pulled over for not having my license plate up. They didn't even mention the lights. I also flashed the military. Just play it safe and go with white...I think it's a fix me, just like tints
